“You have good days, you have bad days. But the main thing is to grow mentally.”

Things happen for a reason, and the only thing you can do is at night time get on your knees and ask God for forgiveness for anything that you did that you didn’t feel was right.

I’m not here to judge Mike Tyson. I’m not here to judge nobody. I’m not here to monitor no other fighters. I respect him for what he did in the sport of boxing. He was an entertainer.

I was able to retire from the sport with all my faculties and not let the sport retire me.

I’m a man of my word.

A true champion can adapt to anything.

I always put my boxing first.

I’m a boxer who believes that the object of the sport is to hit and not get hit.

You could take me anywhere. You could take me to the moon, and believe me, everybody’s going to try to take a trip to the moon to watch me fight.

You’ve got to have a villain and they’ll always make me a villain. I’m used to it – it makes me work harder and it makes me fight harder.

I think I already proved that I wasn’t just fighting for the money, because I fought as an amateur. I fought 90 fights for free.

I push myself to the limit.

I turned pro as a 20-year-old, won a world title a year later, and remained a world champion ever since.

I’ll back up anything my dad says.

Every home that I have is paid for, every car that I have is paid for, and I am a hundred-million-dollar man. I mean, this is the truth; it’s not a lie.

Bad decisions, good intentions.

A bad beginning makes a bad ending.

Everything looks bad if you remember it.

Golf is so popular simply because it is the best game in the world at which to be bad.

Everybody has that point in their life where you hit a crossroads and you’ve had a bunch of bad days and there’s different ways you can deal with it and the way I dealt with it was I just turned completely to music.

A man always finds it hard to realize that he may have finally lost a woman’s love, however badly he may have treated her.

Those who look for the bad in people will surely find it.
